LG Watch Urbane is LG’s Newest Android Wear Watch

Over the weekend, LG clocked its way into the inboxes of media outlets across the globe with its latest and greatest product: the LG Watch Urbane. The LG Watch Urbane will be LG’s third Android Wear watch in less than a year, and you know what they say: third time’s a charm.

The Watch Urbane has several unique features that we have yet seen from the Korean company. One of the first things to note is that this interation drops the ‘G’ from it’s name (previous iterations were the G Watch and the G Watch R). Secondly, and probably most importantly, is the watch’s all metal design — making the watch appear more classy, akin to the Moto 360 rather than the G Watch R.

The Watch Urbane is also our third circular Wear watch to date and sports the following specs:

The Watch Urbane specs seem to be on par with what we’ve seen from other smartwatches. Of course in the press release, LG omitted any details regarding release date, availability, and pricing. My money is that LG will keep us in the dark until MWC (Mobile World Congress), which happens to be in a few weeks.

Is the Urbane the classy Wear watch that you’re wrist has been waiting for or are you holding out for something else?

The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.

The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
